Welcome to the GM League!! Now What?


If you've signed up for a team. The next step is to create a team page for your team. Click on the "General Manager's Team" forum up at the top of this forum. You're team page will consist of your players and their salaries, your teams free agents, draft picks, salary cap information, signings, cuts/releases, and trades. The first thing you need to do is get your player salaries. I will walk you through this step.


1. Go to http://www.nflpa.org/Resources/ActivePlayerSearch.aspx


2. Switch the Team to your team, the year to 2008 (very important, you don't want to end up with 2006 salaries). You will have to search for each position individually because it won't give you the entire roster if you search "all" positions.


3. Perform the searches and paste the salaries into text document or directly to your team thread. Preferably in a format like below:


Quarterback (3,615,000//Total Salary)
Trent Green, QB, 2,800,000
John Beck, QB, 370,000
Casey Bramlet, QB, 445,000


4. Go to http://www.theredzone.org/2008/freeagents/


5. Click on your team's page. Record all your team's free agents in a format like below:


Free Agents
Yeremiah Bell, S, UFA
Jesse Chatman, RB, UFA
Chris Davis, WR, RFA
Etc...


6. Feel free to tender any free agents you wish if they are RFA's or ERFA's. Placing a Franchise or Transition Tag on your UFA's are okay. Only ONE Franchise tag and ONE Transition tag per team! Please follow the guide you're given as far as salaries and compensation goes. DO NOT TRADE YOUR RFA'S AND FRANCHISED PLAYERS UNTIL 24 HOURS AFTER FREE AGENCY!!


7. Shop around for some trades with other GMs and have fun!

Can I gripe about the free agent list listed on that website (redzone.org)? It's not very accurate... last updated on 11/7?

Notice on their main page the link says "potential free agents". Alot of those guys have voidable contracts that they haven't voided yet. If you have a player that has a salary on NFLPA as of today, you can put him on your roster.
 
I guess I'm gonna get to know Brady Quinn after all. Back to Ohio for me.
